PODGORITZA. MONTENEGRO. Oct. 11.—Twice defeated within 24 hours, the Turkish army today is in full re treat toward Scutari. Following the crushing defeat by the Montenegrin division under Crown Prince Danilo on Detchitch mountain, the Turks were again overwhelmed at Tuzi, where the Montenegrins captured the Turkish fort commanding the road to Scutari. Scutari is the base of Turkish opera tions and the principal city in northern Albania. Dispatches to King Nicholas at head quarters here said that the Montene grins lost only 100 killed when they stormed the Turkish stronghold on Detchitch mountain, capturing the Turkish artillery, consisting of four guns. The western wing of the Montenegrin army, under command of General Mar tinociteh, Montenegrin minister of war. swept over the Bojana river west of Lake Scutari, capturing three Turkish block houses. Scutari Reported Fallen. General Martinocitch made a forced night march toward Scutari from the west, and reports reaching here early today said he had captured the city. Fighting along the southern frontier lias been continuous for over 54 hours. The heaviest damage done by the three Montenegrin divisions in action was inflicted by the central corps, un der Crown Prince Danilo. His army is steadilj’ forcing the Turkish army southward along 'the road to Scutari with his light artillery maintaining a steady bombardment. The Turks had no weapons with which to reply, the distance separating the two armies be ing too great for use of small arms. Heavy losses were sustained on both sides in the fighting at Tuzi. Battle Raged 14 Hours. The battle of Tuzi raged fourteen hours before the Turks showed the w'hite flag. King Nicholas sent orders to the front for all divisions to keep hammer ing away at the Turkish lines. His ob ject in this is to take Scutari and seize the arms, ammunition and provisions stored there before Turkish reinforce ments can arrive from Salonika. Scu tari is the key city to northern Albania. Scores of wounded soldiers have been brought here for treatment. Field hos pitals have been erected. King Nicholas sent messages of con gratulations to all his commanders sot their brilliant operations In the field. Crown Prince Danilo sent back word to his father that he "would eat his dinner Sunday in Scutari." GREECE REPORTED QUITTING. PARIS. Oct. 11.

OCTOBER IL 1912. Emma Bunting Declares Time Passes Quicker When She's Playing “Daring” Parts. How do you think you’d like to be a cute little trick one week, a demure young miss the next, a scheming, dar ing adventuress the next, and so on? Well, Little Emma Bunting is, was and will be all that, and she likes it immensely, but here's a secret. She's been all of those things so often she doesn’t know which she'd rather be. Buried in a jungle of flowers sent by friends on the resumption of her ca reer in Atlanta at the Forsyth, she told of her predicament. "I’ve only realized it in the last few months," she confided, jand it’s really too silly, isn't it, but it’s a fact that I don’t know whether I’d rather be the charming young person I am supposed to be in The Morals of Marcus’ or a sweet, unsophisticated and quite prop er school miss, or a character with dash and go who shocks 'em occasion ally. "I'll confess one thing, however, the time sure does seem to pass quicker when I am acting a part that’s just the slightest bit naughty. It’s awfully tire some, being proper as can be, isn’t it?" But the interviewer was a man. so, of course, he didn’t know, and there you are. LOS ANGELES WOMAN IS CHIEF OF CIVIL SERVICE LOS ANGELES. CAL..

The rob bery is the third in this section within a week. It occurred on northbound passenger train No.- 2 of the Kansas City Southern railway. Burgett, the express messenger, fought a despetate battle with the ban dits. There were four mon in the party and they are believed to be the same who participated in other robberies. The men jumped to the side of the express car as the train was pulling out of Hatfield, Aik. With the butts of their revolvers they firoke the glass ir the door and reached in and unfast ened it. Burgett, hearing the attack, ran to the express safe, took out the valuables and conceal! d them, and then armed himself with two revolver- and a shotgun. He opened fire as the men struggled to gain admission. The rob bers tired al him. One of them was wounded. Jumps With Wounded Pal. "I’m a goner and you’d better tab me off " one of them shouted. Tne train was running 40 miles an hour, but one of the robbers took Ihe wounded man in his arms and jumped. Just' then the others forced their way into the car and rushed Burgett. Bur gett had taken up a position behind some trucks and the battle continued. Finally the messenger ran out of am munition. He struck one staggering plow with his clubbed gun. One of the bandits seizeil him and beat him to a b.oody mass. Another robebr search ed the safes which Burgett had left un locked and made an unsuccessful him’ for the valuables. One robber cut the air on the train and, bringing it to a stop and dragging his companion, dis appeared in the darkness. They left the train one mile south of Potter.

CHILDREN SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Although the mileage "pulling" hear ing is not attracting as much general attention as it did when first the argu- JAMBsS » ATErvTW ments pro and con were .thrashed out before the railroad commission, the present hearing is engaging the close attention of a good many politi. clans in Georgia, some of whom think they- see in it politics of per haps far-reaching consequence. The only real news of the hear ting now. of course, is the de cision to be hand *l down by the commission, and. discussing that forthcoming decision, a keen political observer—one of the shrewdest ami most practical in Geor gia—today said: Big politics is being played, under cover largely as yet, in the mileage ‘pulling’ game. "A great many traveling men, a large majority of them, no doubt, do not real ize that, but it Is true. Upon the out come of the hearing now in progress depends the stability of as pretty a house of cards as mortal man ever saw —a house of cards that it Is hoped eventually to reinforce substantially with political concrete of a most en during nature." "Certain ambitious politicians and statesmen, real and near, are banking heavily on a favorable decision from the commission—that Is. a decision up holding the traveling men’s petition. It. is confidently believed by these people that this will cause the railroads to withdraw the Interchangeable mileage —which, likely enough, it will—and then a big, state-wide agitation for a fiat two-cent passenger rate on the railroads is to be inaugurated. “Upon that Issue a number of am bitious politicians, as aforesaid, are expecting to ride triumphantly Into fat offices. "Let no man be deceived about the mileage 'pulling' row. However sin cere many of the petitioners may be, the big politics behind the game—be ing played strenuously, too —is just as outlined, "Time will prove the correctness of what I say—provided, of course, the railroad commission falls for tjte ini tial lead.” William H. Fleming, of Augusta, for mer congressman from the Tenth dis trict, Vs an Atlanta visitor Mr. Fleming talks interestingly and optimistically of the strike situation in Augusta, and believes that order is about to be brought out of chaos at last. "Augusta has been damaged very greatly by the unmerited criticism heaped upon it because of a situation for which Augusta, as a whole, was in no wise to blame,” said Mr. Fleming. “The city has not relished being un- By JAMES B . NEVIN. der martial law. but the good citizens have not resented it violently, for the reason that they have realized the ne cessity of handling firmly all situations in which the life and prosperity of the people are imperiled. "The charge has been made that there is a good deal of politics back of Augusta's distressing status, and it mav be that such Is the truth. The game of polities as played in that vicinity is very hard to follow in its logic now and then. "However, peace soon will reign again in Augusta, and the recent bad order of things will have vanished for ever—at least, we hope foiever. There are no finer, more peacefully inclined, nor yet more law-abiding people any where in the world than In Augusta." The Republican membership of the next house of representatives in Geor gia will be exactly double that of the last house. Do not be alarmed, however, gentle Democrats— there was only one Repub lican in the last house, remember! John A. Corn (not Acorn), of Towns, will reinforce and back up Pickett, of PL kens, in the next general assembly— vvhich will lift a mighty buoden from the good-natured and sunny tempered Pickett, too! They never have a primary election m lowns, and A.

Former Senator L. R. Aiken, of Brunswick. Is in Atlanta for one of those occasional visits he now and then permits himself. The former legislator Is an enthusi astic supporter of Burwell for the speakership of the next house, and says that his end of the state already has lined up solidly for the gentleman from Hancock. I k new Burwell Intimately and watched him closely when I served in the senate with him,” said Aiken "There is no better equipped man in Georgia for the speakership. As a parliamentarian, he Is all that one could ask, and his disposition Is to be fair and tolerant of opposition.

"I did not care to be insulted or maltreated, as 1 was the last time I came up wearing my straw,” explained Mr. Lawrence; “so I got a derby for this journey. “I still have my straw." he added somewhat defiantly, “and I don’t want anybody to think I was bluffed into donning this black thing—] merely didn't want to be annoyed.” 5
